Harriet tubman by catherine clinton5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Clinton is meticulous (without being annoying) in. It is very irritating and I'm amazed that no one in the "Audible/Amazon" organization caught it. Although she often posed as an old woman, Tubman was in her 20s when she began her rescues, and in her mid-30s as the Civil War broke out.

I have read her biography of Fanny Kemble as well. ![]() But, I must say, Catherine Clinton's "filler material" is very interesting and informative, and includes material and perspectives not available in other histories of the period. history that is pertinent to Tubman's life. To be clear, only about half the book is the actual biography of Harriet Tubman, the rest of the book is expansive filler material on slavery in general and the U. Well-written bio of the former slave who became an engineer on the Underground Railroad, a loyal supporter of John Brown, a Civil War. I did not know that Tubman was so fearless in her rescues and never got caught while freeing slaves through the Underground Railroad.
